Headshots with Chicago Model Kenneth Hill

Chicago Model Kenneth Kill is an amazing talent. He is one of the best posing models I have ever worked with and he can practically style himself on every shoot. I enjoyed working with him so much that I called him back twice!
I basically used every technique I commonly use in studio during the shoots so I’ll go over each set-up in this post.

Then I realized that what I was going for ws more of a mat look, so I started just using the Photek Softlighter II 60-Inch Umbrella. I also noticed that the old dutch master painters had saturated skin tones, so I decided to mimic that look.
